Zolo, an Argentinian winery saw 23% growth in the U.S. market last year, sitting at 50,000 cases shipped. Vino Del Sol is the importer.
For Zolo, much of this growth was seen in its Signature tier, comprised of value driven red, white and rosé blends.
“We believe in our programs of state of the art technology in the winery, and close care in the vineyards. By utilizing only estate grown fruit, we can ensure that top vineyard practices are maintained year-round. Most of our wines are from single vineyards and all wines are from handpicked grapes,” says Patricia Ortiz, President, and owner of Tapiz.
Zolo recently launched Zolo Signature Rosé, a terroir driven wine from two high altitude estate vineyards in Luján de Cuyo, offered at an SRP of $10. The name Zolo is a play on words for Solo, and the shadowy man in their logo is a pun of Patricia’s husband who is often left at home in Buenos Aires.
Zolo is a subsidiary winery of Tapiz, which is owned by vintner and former medical doctor Patricia Ortiz. Last year, Tapiz saw similar success with 32% growth in the U.S. in 2017. In 2017, Tapiz also introduced Wapisa to the U.S., a winery focused entirely on coastal Patagonian terroir.
